Filter by:The aims of the present study were to: - Investigate the feasibility of using a therapeutic gaming system (REHAB@HOME), based on Kinect, to augment upper extremity neurorehabilitation services. - Provide preliminary evidence of clinical efficacy of the approach in increasing arm activity and health related quality of life of persons post stroke or with MS. Main results suggest that the serious games approach was positively received in terms of user experience and motivation to use, with the participants showing also improvements in functional abilities of the treated arm.
The study will based on qualitative methods investigate motivational factors among patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis for registering nutrition, environmental factors, stress provoking factors and physical activity (NESPA). The aim is to gain knowledge on motivational factors for using a digital tool for collecting data on NESPA and incorporate this knowledge into a form which can be used in requirement specifications for such a digital tool.
This is a phase 1 study evaluating the safety and maximum tolerated dose of Liothyronine (T3) in subjects with multiple sclerosis
There have been no published studies to date on the effects of backwards walking in persons with MS. Thus it is important that the investigators explore different methods for treatment to help improve balance and gait and prevent injury in persons with MS with gait disturbances and balance impairments.The overall goal of this research is to collect pilot data on the effectiveness of backwards walking as a therapy for improving spatiotemporal, clinical gait and balance assessments in persons with Multiple Sclerosis compared to forward walking.
The objective of the clinical study of the medicinal product for medical use: to compare efficacy and safety of the generic drug BCD-063 and Copaxone®-Teva in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Period of the clinical study of the medicinal product for medical use: from June 10, 2013 to March 23, 2016. Number of patients, involved into the study of the medicinal product for medical use: 158 patients.
This is a prospective investigation of the effects of Laughter therapy (LT) on perceived stress, self-efficacy, mood and other wellness measures in people with the following neurological conditions: Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brain injury, Huntington's Disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, post-stroke, spinal cord injury.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic neurologic disability in young adult females in their childbearing ages. Little evidence is available regarding the association between exposure to IFN-beta (β) products and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore the four marketing holders of IFN-β are conducting a European-wide IFN-β pregnancy registry. Additionally, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has requested a study to enable identification of pregnancy outcomes in the MS population unexposed to IFN-β products for comparison with the ongoing European IFN-β Pregnancy Registry.
Leg spasticity is common problem encountered with a large proportion of patients suffering with multiple sclerosis (MS) with an increasing severity as the disease progresses. It mostly affects the antigravity muscles that significantly complicates transfer, increases fatigue and makes walking more difficult. Hence, leg spasticity often interferes with patients' mobility and significantly influences their quality of life. A great number of multidisciplinary rehabilitation studies has shown a significant effect of numerous specific functional changes in patients with secondary (SP) and primary progressive (PP) MS but there are no reviews related to spasticity. The positive therapeutic effect of modulating Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation ( TMS) methods on spasticity is shown in only two studies, in patients with relapse remitting clinical form in the remission phase of the disease. The effect of TMS on clinical measures of lower limb spasticity, functional inability and the quality of life in patients with SPMS and PPMS will be examined in this study. The objective to this study are to to explore whether rTMS boosted exercise therapy (ET) treatment can bring more improvement in lower limb spasticity than ET treatment alone in these patients.
A randomized phase 3 study comparing Rituximab with Dimethyl Fumarate in early Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and Clinically Isolated Syndrome.
This study will test the tolerability and preliminary efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with a cognitive training program, remotely-delivered using a telemedicine protocol in 60 adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study will evaluate the efficacy of tDCS to evaluate two of the most debilitating symptoms of MS: cognitive impairment and fatigue.
